I have a water cooling system, but i dont use it since buying my new computer. At some point in the future when i feel like overclocking and i want to spend a couple hundred bucks on new water cooling blocks for my cpu and 2 gpus+video memory, and spending 4 or 5 hours transfering all my components from 1 computer to the other, i might use it again. until then im happy with air cooling since AMD processors run pretty cool.

Using cooking oil is the last thing you want to do actually, it gets funky after time. Mineral Oil is better from what I have read.
And the mess from a leak, is well quite a mess. The best way to do that is to have some sort of back up system to catch any leaks. And really you want the system to be sealed to.

This whole system seems way too fragile. There is just so much risk, it's bizarre.freebirdpat wrote:

lol he probably heated it up and deepfried some food inside his case anyways is watercooling actually good and dus it work and how loud is it
I use liquid nitrogen I "borrow" from work.
Dont laugh i know a Tech who uses Liquid Nitrogen to cool his machine and man its icy on the hottest of days (mind you it cost him a bit to set the whole thing up which he doesnt mind as he does alot of high end photowork)
Thats some crazy talk.Rosse_modest wrote:

So why not just use motor oil? It won't match the sofa?
And why is that crazy talk my friend?Wafer wrote:

I read the guide given at Tom's Hardware just now, and they do indeed recommened motor oil instead of cooking oil. Reason being (as they provide) is that cooking oil can lend too many impurities in some cases and could cause some type of ion leaking. At least, I think that's the gist of it. But anyways, using motor oil would be perfect.
I thought so. But then no more LED lights, it'll just black and all. Eww...Kniero wrote:

I use a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6811999633
pretty good(not the best) liquid cooling kit
this one is much better.
EDIT: Linkage http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp … CIID=26054
this one ran at -7C under load and at -61C when idle.

i wonder if that cooling solution could keep up with Liquid nitro in OC
Looks like something mygyver would do out of desperation.
^lol
Comparing the price of liquid water and oil to liquid nitrogen, something tells me water and oil are the cheaper to use on a daily basis. Water probably the cheapest altogether.

why not use carbon tetrachloride? that should work much much better than oil...
I have a total of 7 fans in my rig ( 4 chassis fans, two on my PSU and the CPU fan ). No temperature problems here.
I am thinking about getting a water cooling system for my new rig, which is due as soon as the new windows comes out this year, but I haven't made my mind up yet. Up to now, air cooling has worked well for me.

Ok, I picked up that water coolent thingy, but when I played BF2 it was all laggy. I put the Fan back on and everything was back to normal. I wonder if I'm just doing something wrong.
